The winter meeting of the Texas State Hortietil- ; iuihi society Degan tn ims city today j and will continue over tomorrow. A j leading feature of the program will be a conference on the need of experi mental work In horticulture for Texas. The conference will be conducted by Dr. Youngldood. director of the Texas experiment stations. IF ORDINANCE IS REPEALED, LOW RATES WILL COME. I'uirliaae of Equipment Stipulated by Underwriters, Necessary. Construction of another story to the city offices building, supplying the city with a combination hose wagon and chemical engine drawn by horses or automobile, employment of two paid men and construction of quarters for volunteer fire .fighters, and lastly, the Installation of a telegraph lire alarm system, all of which will reauce ma terially the Insurance rates in La Grande, shaped themselves last night at the regular council meeting. The new policy took root when Secretary McCune of the Underwriters' rating bureau appeared before the council again and placed before the council in dollars and cents what Is bound to en sue In the event the newly-adopted or dinance is enforced. Up to date less than a dozen of the 100 Insurance com panies doing business here have re sponded to the $25 annual fee, and it was the opinion of Mr. McCune that about $1250 would actually be realized from taxes, the others withdrawing from the field. Counter Scheme Introduced. ' Working on the basis that the city would receive an Income of say $1500 from the revenue, the rate adjuster pointed out how the rates would be raised to meet this tax. On the other hand he pointed out the saving to be gained by buying new equipment. The Other FNn. Thirty thousand annually Is the es timated business done here. If the city buys a horse-drawn wagon and chemical engine, and hires two paid men, the rates for fire Insurance will be reduced from 7 to 10 per cent or In dollars and cents, between $2500 and $3000 annually. The second proposl nlarm system of say 18 or 20 boxes, tlon is to install an automatic Are and when the city does this, the rates will be reduced at leabt 13 per cent and probably 15 per cent or $4,500. Roughly estimated, the alarm system will cost $3,000 and It was estimated by the councilmen that In 18 months' time the city would have won baclc Its expenditure If the new ordinance Is dropped. Otherwise the council will take money out of one pocket and place It in another and claim to have gained thereby. The situation is in status quo for two weeks at which time the fire and police committee will report on the matter finally and it is a .-.afe bet that the newly-passed ordi nance will be repealed, and McCune'3 proposition adopted in tbto or In some modified manner. These details are yet to be worked out. Mickey iu Cliulr. Councilman Mackey, president, pre sided at the meeting and Councilmen Davis, Campbell, Jones, Lincoln, Lilly, Flnley and Fitzgerald were present. Communications objecting to the laying of seweis in certain alleys In Cognan's and Cognan's second addition were read. They were referred to the city attorney. The sewer committee will again over the damage done to the Peare between J. II. Peare and the council ovr the diumige done to the Peare tract east of La Grande. This Issue which has been oscillating around the 1911 council Involves several hundred dollars, probably, which Mr. Peare usks for damages because the sewer line passes the Peare property, shut ting off access. The commtitee is to report at the next meeting. Addition of an accountant to the regular force of employes is likely in the near future. In compliance with the expressed policy of Mayor Church, Chairman Davis of the wys and means comniitteo has taken the mat ter up and repot las', nlfht.that ui his opinion the added official would be secured at a small additional outlay of money. The plan is feasible, thinks -Mr. Davis. The committee finds that the added expense would be light be cause an assistant is now required during the rush days of water collec tion, and by employing a bookkeeper lontluually the assistant would be un necessary. This means that a regu lar businesslike bookkeeping system will b adopted so lha: the city's fin ances can be bal.UKe'; t'ady or weekly o. desired. The dump, gro'ni.i.i are said to be In n deplorable condiuoi. Mr. Rogers appeared before tl; council, saying t ai the populace was careless in i'":uping garbage, ami suggested thru an oniciai be appointed to look after IB t :c p.-cper dispose iu of enrbage. !H &5 THIS WINTER FAMOUS THE WORLD OVER For its splendid hostelries, Us varied at tractions, its fine beaches, hot springs and pleasure resorts all these can be reached with ease by the - Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Co and Southern Pacific Company "Railroad of a Thousand Wo.-.ders" $55.00 Portland to Los Angles and Return With correspondingly low fares from all O-W.
